@kianhsu3467 4 года назад

From HK🇭🇰🇭🇰 Your Cantonese is still very native sounding😂 Any chance of you playing in a concert back in Hong Kong?

@DenZhdanovPianist 4 года назад

A truly brilliant vlog, thanks for the inspiring video! It's so cool we musicians may share our experience on a broader scale! You inspired me to start my own blog about the efficient piano playing! Viva la Musica:)

The fact that you read and answered the comment in Cantonese is awesome. Do you think you could include more of these comments? Also, I like your answer about disagreeing with your teacher.

Tiffany, super and under your piano is a great way to relax the moon. Maybe, for now on, Steinway will take a extra attention and care of the "under the piano" at the factory!

@dylandecker_music 4 года назад

Thanks for answering my question!

@oshiage_ 4 года назад

Question: Have you been reading much lately? What are some of your book recommendations? Thanks for waking up so early at 6am to edit the video for us! The Q&A section is great, though I sometimes wonder if being under the piano would be uncomfortable for you 🙈

@ThatBoomerDude56 4 года назад

The under the piano thing is cool -- and nostalgic. I used to have my favorite "house" / play area under the parlor grand in the living room when I was a kid.

@mindylopez4526 4 года назад

Love your vlogs!!! ❤ So impressed with your ability to make the best out of all the annoying motorcycles, honking horns, and loose aux cords that you encounter. You did a great job because I didn't even notice them when watching your vlog. Keep up the good work, Tiffany! 👍

@clamayaceo 4 года назад

Thanks for this fun vlog under the piano. Under the piano is nice and focused and private. Amazingly, I could barely hear the motorcycle as your mic is really good and your voice comes through strong. Loved all the questions. I had fun listening to you speak in Cantonese. I speak half English and half Cantonese to my parents also! Congratulations on all your achievements and milestones. Looking forward to your upcoming events and vlogs. Love your Q&A and practice diaries. They help us all strive as you cover a good number of relevant questions! Thank you!!!

@alfaDude156 4 года назад

I really like these Under-The-Piano-Vlogs, it is interesting to get an insight into the "boring" parts of different professions workday and it is fun to hear your takes on some of these questions people have. When it comes to things like counting I guess there is a big difference between being the visiting "star" soloist and being second violin during a symphony :)

@darijabocevska 4 года назад

Question: for memorising pieces, do you tend to rely more on muscle memory or memorising the harmonies of each bar/thinking more with your head rather than your fingers? Btw sorry i didn't really know how to phrase this lol

@ian757 4 года назад

Wow! That was awesome hearing you talk about your music in Cantonese. You’re both cute and a little scary when you speak Cantonese! You should think about including a Cantonese answer more often in your Q&As. Hong Kong is a unique and amazing place with cultural influences from both East and West.

@charliemcleod764 4 года назад

Hey Tiffany, thanks for the videos, hilarious and beautiful. Many years ago I regularly visited a friend who lived by the sea. In the main room facing the sea was a Bechstein Grand Piano. I used to stay over and she always made a bed up for me under the piano. I slept great, with fantastic noises from the sea. Best wishes from Scotland. Btw, Chinese is a beautiful and percussive language. I don't speak any but it's great on the ear.

@michieldolfing 4 года назад

Question: do you do any sports or exercising besides playing the piano? I sometimes experience back pains after practising many hours in a row and I was wondering if professional pianists (you) deal with that too! If so, how do you fix your back pains? Do you just take a rest or go to a chiropractor? Thanks for the videos and music, Tiffany! Keep striving :)

@raulperez2308 4 года назад

hey so quick disclaimer i'm not a pro (yet), just a student, but anyway what i do is: 1.- Never play more than 40 minutes without taking a break that's at least 5 2.- Stretch nice and long at least before and after playing, usually a couple more times. It's normal for your forearms to be tired after a while but don't allow them to burn too much everyday 3.- Stay relaxed, it's easier when you practice because you're just playing for yourself. but in general, maintaining a relaxed posture is benefitial, not just when you're playing 4.- Exercise your back; swimming is great. These all came from a really good physician i used to visit, he treats a lot of local musicians

@philippeperez4558 4 года назад

As a modest keyboard player , i have a piece of avice for Dylan. 1-loop on the first measures untill you feel ok and start to forget the cam. You will be able to cut the loops with a video editing software. 2-prepare the song by identifying spots where you likely to fail, you will get more confidence . I think the key is to repeat the song untill you don;t have to think about it and can let yourself go and only focus on injecting your feeling into the piece. 3-Identify spots where you might be out of sync with the tempo and use a visual metronome to make sure you are on sync on some key mesures of the piece. 4 think like rallly car , identifying dangerous turns is important, you will pay more attention here and dim intepretation for a few bars 5-Like an actor learning a scene, try to overplay your emotions , and play the same bars with different emotions. you will get more control of your emotions. 6- remember you play for fun , be selfish

@lore6341 4 года назад

I got so excited when you started speaking Cantonese! lol

@triroo107 4 года назад

Yes under the piano, our family and friends all have different native dialects of of Mandarin, My wife grew up in Hong Kong (my favorite place to eat), kids all born and raised in Japan, and everyone speaks English. The best is when my wife’s BFF’ get to drinking a little, then all the languages mix and my head tends to explode. But eating together brings the best dishes from all of Asia hence I’m spoiled. I enjoyed hearing you answer in Cantonese takes me back to a Hong Kong lost forever (1980’s). Keep striving and trust your feelings, you are your best therapist.

@cgsproggs9759 4 года назад

Question: Hi Tiffany, I'm an intermediate pianist and I find that my flexibility and control is quite good in my right hand but my left hand lacks some strength for things like trills and quick passages. Do you happen to have any advice?

@vipinbhat6971 4 года назад

CodySproggs hey, if definitely not Tiffany, but Nahre Sol has a very good tutorial on improving trills, and for your left hand I would recommend focusing on finger strength exercises and playing more left handed repertoire. Cheers!

@dareen93mt98 4 года назад

There are some great pieces for the left hand (Scriabin, Reinecke, ...). Everytime I played one it helped me.

@henrike16254 4 года назад

Hi i have/had the same problem and what really helped me are some etudes for the left hand! I know it sounds boring but it really helped me and since your right hand already knows how to act you can translate it way easier to your left hand... Still my fav to this day is Moszkovski Etude No2 in G minor:) don’t worry with playing it up to speed in the beginning but it’ll teach you a lotnof technique😋

@chowbow573 4 года назад

0:05 Lol that’s actually me lol, I imitate sounds whatever I hear😂. I really love that you still act like a kid even though you are in your 20s😍😆. I’m 15 and I still act like a 10 year old sometimes🤣

@rochoa7408 4 года назад

Hi Tiffany. I have a question, have you ever considered composing a piece of your own, or have you done that before? I have been toying a little bit with composing and I find it so difficult but at the same time quite rewarding I suppose.

@juliab.2214 4 года назад

Very interesting answers! Thank you, I'll watch it again now. There were some good ideas, which I want to use. Try this Voooo-gel aals Proo-pheeeet German is a clear and exact language. Like Bach piano pieces, I would say 🤔🤣 You should spell the "o" "a" "e" clearly and longer than in English. Lovely hearing you speaking chinese or what language? I understood "julliard" 😂 Good night!

Lately I haven’t felt motivated to practice even though I have a lot to do. I want to play but I get tired so quickly and my hands hurt when I play. Also, I have two pieces (Clair de lune and Ballade no. 1) that i have to finish by the end of the month. I’ve been working on Clair de lune for months but I’m only on measure 40 and I just started the ballade. Any tips or advice??

How did you prepare for this and looking back what could you have done to improve, and what are your tips for those who want to play works like that. Best of luck in your career and stay safe and healthy.

@WoutDC 4 года назад

Question: what are your thoughts on recording? I know you've recorded an album and you have recordings on youtube, so what are your thoughts about the current 'recording climate', since it gets said now and then that it is kind of stale (more or less same recording technique's, same instruments, everything pretty much played completely flawless). Do you agree with that sentiment and what's in that case your opinion on a pianist like, for example Sokolov, who only releases unedited live recordings? (the late conductor Celibidache also was very opposed to recording, his opinion was that you could only realy experience music live) Another little question since you love Schumann so much, have you played his late pieces, like the Geistervariationen and Gesänge der Frühe? If not, you probably would love them, they are amazing and incredibly personal.

@rogerdanis. 4 года назад

Is this your actual job or do you have a side job to help get more money? I hear that musicians don't make a lot depending on what you do and I was wandering how you manage to pay for things (by getting money from youtube and concerts or a separate job not related to music)
